- Step 1: Backup your existing files
It's very important that you backup your files in case something goes wrong. You'll then have the old files that may help you fix any issues. - Step 2: Download and replace all files
Download the v1.8.4 update from our site and replace all the files on your server. Again, make sure that you backup language and theme files before doing this to make the transition easier. Replacing all the files will not delete any settings or information. - Step 3: Run the upgrade folder
Run the /arrowchat/upgrade/ folder in your browser (ex. http://www.yoursite.com/arrowchat/upgrade/) and follow the on-screen instructions. - Step 4: Update your theme
Make sure to update your theme files as there have been some changes to the CSS. - Step 5: Update your language (non-English)
